This is the entrance to the British Museum. It's pretty much a museum of all the artifacts the British "stole" from the other parts of the world while they were colonizing the globe.
The Rosetta Stone
These were put back together piece by piece. They stood on the top of the entrance of the Parthenon above the columns. They told us it was unlikely any Greeks ever saw they as they were too high up to see.
On the left and right of this room are the blocks of carvings that would have stood above the columns on the sides to support the room. They have somehow managed to match each block up as they would have been on the Parthenon.
